Firefox has just been identified as the most secure and safe browser available. This is great news, considering Mozilla’s recent and long awaited release of Firefox version 3.
A study was carried out to: “Understand the Web browser threat: Examination of vulnerable online Web browser populations and the insecurity iceberg” – quite a mouthful. In essense this simply means they tested the browsers not only from a technical security point of view, but how intuitive they were to use in a safe and friendly way.
There’s no point having the most secure browser in the world if it’s easy to get lured into a fake phishing website and you enter your bank details into a fake bank login form.
The new generation of browsers include phishing filters and other tools to help users protect themselves, and Firefox has come up on top of them all.
The browser, that porthole onto the broad horizon of the Web, is about to get some fancy new window dressing.
